Hey MM,

We were in the same division. I just missed you. 3rd ID "Rock of the Marne" 1984 - 1987. I was there for the fun though. We got Bradley's and M-1s just as I got there. Errr....wouldn't really have meant anything for you though. The Charlies and Hotels pretty much just partied for 3 months while the Bravos turned into Mikes.

I guess that last sentence lost about 95% of this board

I was hoping to find a good thread like this, so i could check up on a few things, not just for myself, but for my 2 boys, who served in the Navy and Army, during this era. Where can i find a good and reliable site to search through?

 

[AmericasBrave58]

JBeukema - Yes they do! Quite the interesting day for both Shellbacks and Pollywogs. Shellbacks get the better half of the deal. Thanks for the welcome Coloradomtnman. Appreciate it and again, thanks for all you did way back then... It amazes me when you see folks berating the military. They just don't understand that veterans are the reason they can do and say just about anything they please in this country.

I can vouch for that, when i came back from Vietnam, i faced a lot of Anti-Military demonstrations, up and down the street while i lived in San Francisco. You know!!! the Hippie thing. I told them you have a right to demonstrate, but in a peaceful manner, not bottle tossing and rioting. Even after my eldest son came back, from Desert Storm and my second eldest, from Iraq, in 2006, they also went through that crap here in Seattle, now i lost my youngest son, in Iraq in 2004, in the Mess Hall bombing and he also was in the army.These Civilian's, half of them talk out of the other side of their necks, with really no knowledge of anything any of our vets have gone through, and without our Vets and what they went through, these Knot-Heads wouldn't have Doodles!!!. I still see a lot of the Vets, that i once treated when in Vietnam.
